CHAPTER 352: CHAPTER 120 LOCUST LEAF COLD TOFU, ALMOND TOFU (PART 2)

Even though she understood that the Education Minister’s actions were futile, as Du Xixi lay in Ke Lian’s arms after washing up at midnight, she couldn’t help but open her Light Computer and start following the trends on the Star Network.

Seeing that his little sweetheart in his arms was half-ignoring him, Ke Lian, who had been posing for a while, felt a touch of jealousy, thinking there was always something stealing Du Xixi’s attention, making their already limited time alone feel a bit crowded.

"Xixi!" Ke Lian, seeing Du Xixi frowning slightly and sighing at the comments from netizens, finally couldn’t resist pinching her cheek. Then, facing her puzzled gaze, Ke Lian put on a pitiful expression, "We haven’t talked heart-to-heart for so long. Is the Food Department so charming that I don’t even matter to you anymore?"

"How could that be!" As soon as Du Xixi saw Ke Lian’s face full of grievance, she knew he was getting jealous again. Although she couldn’t figure out where the jealousy came from, she still needed to coax Ke Lian kindly, "You’re the most important to me!"

Du Xixi believed she was earnestly coaxing Ke Lian, but he turned prideful, turning his face away with a hum. His proud nature actually seemed a bit endearingly childish at the moment: "Not enough!"

Saying this, Ke Lian even leaned his cheek closer to Du Xixi, making his intention clear. Du Xixi could only smile helplessly and then leaned over according to his wish, placing a kiss on his cheek.

"Is that enough now?" Seeing that Ke Lian could hardly control the corners of his mouth, Du Xixi finally sighed in relief and went back to watching the reactions of netizens.

Seeing this, Ke Lian, who had just been coaxed, wasn’t satisfied again. He took a deep breath, turned over, and pinned Du Xixi down, forcing the Light Computer to shut down automatically. Lowering his head, he left a heated whisper in her ear: "Of course it’s not enough."

The warm breath sprayed down, and Du Xixi didn’t know when the temperature on her face rose, only knowing that the light summer blanket covering them was surprisingly hot.

The moon sets and the sun rises, time always passes so quickly that it’s hard to react. When the dazzling simulated sunlight shone on the curtains at the edge of the sky, Du Xixi, just waking groggily, looked to her side only to find it empty.

Looking at the time, it was almost noon; Ke Lian had gone to work long ago.

Supporting her sore body, she wisely chose a long-sleeved dress with a slightly high collar, perfectly concealing everything beneath soft and comfortable fabric.

Coming downstairs, Miao Miao was as usual reading a book, whether reviewing or exploring new knowledge unknown, while Ke Xing was with the two children. Seeing Du Xixi come down, he held Yi Yi and Er Er’s hands, greeting her: "Mommy’s coming down, say good morning to Mommy!"

"Ah! Ah!" The two children couldn’t form complete syllables yet, just babbled at Du Xixi, who blushed under the watchful eyes of the group.

Poor Ke Xing, trying to give Du Xixi some face. If she got up any later, she could simply say good afternoon or skip noon altogether with a good afternoon.

"Um... I slept a bit late last night." As Du Xixi said this, she could sense the teasing glints in Ke Xing and Miao Miao’s eyes, so she simply bit her lip and moved past the topic, "I’m going to Blue Star University after lunch, Miao Miao, do you want to come with me?"

Although Du Xixi often went to Blue Star University to exchange culinary skills with Chen Si and others, it wasn’t formally open yet, so they were quite free.

If Du Xixi went, they would naturally practice together; if not, they would also hone their own skills. Coming from the Cultural Relics Bureau, it made no sense if they didn’t have that much self-discipline.

So not going to Blue Star University in the morning didn’t seem like a big deal to Du Xixi.

"No, I still need to find some books within the exam scope at the Imperial Library and will likely be at home studying for the next few days," Miao Miao looked up and smiled at Du Xixi, "Miss, be careful on the road, and please thank Sister Lin You for me."

Before posting the special admission information on the Star Network, Lin You said it was her duty, but she hurriedly managed everything and sent all the details to Blue Star University’s website on the same day, partly for Miao Miao.
